Here are a couple pics of my 70 GMC I'm doing the "frame off" restoration on. This is just a couple of the many pics....

1. Disassembled, sandblasted and applied POR15 to everything, then reassembled. All new Stainless Fuel & Brake lines, new bushings, new grade 8 bolt/nuts, new Eaton Posi in rear axle with stock 3.07 gears. New 15 x 8 American Eagle 149 wheels & B.F. Goodrich Classic 275-60-15 white letter tires.

2. Fresh Dupont ChromaBase & ChromaClear paint on the cab. 3 coats base & 3 of clear, then color sanded & buffed. We're talking expensive paint here!! Have already applied spray-on bedliner under the cab & inside the bottom of the doors. Will also spray it under the bed and front fenders. Began installing the Vintage Air.

3. Began installing the B-Quiet Ultimate sound deadning material. Will do the entire floor and inside doors.

4. Freshly rebuilt "numbers matching" 402 Bigblock, mostly stock except for Torquer 2 Cam. Using an aluminum Pro Comp Hi-Flow waterpump. "Numbers matching" Turbo 400 has been rebuilt & painted also.

I'm also using Stainless bolts anywhere they can be seen. I'll be doing this for a while. What do you think?? Greg

Looking good so far :metal:

:agree: That's a huge understatement! :metal: Love the bb.:D

Awesome job so far!!!!

Looking great! Keep them pics coming.

You did a great job. I love that color you painted the cab.

All the pictures of other people's trucks...can't wait to get mine back! This forum is too motivating.

looking fantastic!! man i cant wait to tear mine down someday... that frame is looking beautiful!

I want to see it finished - man that's gonna be sweet!

What color is that it's purty.

THANKS for the great comments!! That's what is keeping me motivated, comments like these from friends, family and people I sub some of the work to. It's the factory color...527 Dark Gold Metallic. Much better quality than the original paint though. This began last October, so it's a long term thing to do all this. Greg

Is that an ac delete panel? Where did you get it?

Very nice work and I dig the color!

killer 71, If you refering to the black plastic panels on the firewall, they cover the factory heater and fan holes and gives a hole for the new heater & a/c lines to come thru. These plates come with the Vinatge Air Kit. This kit only requires drilling a 5/8 hole for the unit to drain, everthing else uses factory holes or covers them if they are not needed. Just in case I ever decide to go back all factory. Greg

Greg, keep up the outstanding detail and workmanship.I agree with the other's I really like that color too.

Your truck is looking great. Thanks for the color idea!
I am doing the same right now without the paintjob. That will have to wait another 3 or 4 years.

Greg, you are doing a fantastic job, can't wait to see it when its finished.
Good job!

Jeff

Very inspirational! Alot of $, Heart and Time there. You should be proud.

looking good:metal: hope to see more pics soon.:cong:

thats a work of art..definetly a labor of love that prolly cost a pretty penny to say the least..i to also really like the color..nice depth to it

Thanks Guys. After the day I've had, it's good to hear the great comments. My glass guy just broke my freshly rechromed vent window frame. Now I have to spend another $90, not counting the price of the part, to rechrome another one. And had a nasty phone chat with my bodyman for doing nothing with the rest of my truck for a couple months now. The guy does GREAT work when he does anything to it. Thanks again, You have cheered me up. Greg

p.s. I don't really know the $$$ figure yet, probably don't want to know, but I'm at $20K minimum. I have almost everthing new to finish stacked up.

nice......

Here's a BEFORE shot, it was in good shape 98% factory original. Greg

i would say it looks to good to pull apart but now it looks to good to regret it

Thanks, It was fairly solid, but you always find things when you start taking it apart. The rockers, cab corners and front door pillars were pretty nasty. Greg

Sweet Build!!!! Can't wait to see it completed.

Here's the latest picture. Moved it into the air conditioned shop. Greg

Updated pictures. Cranked it up for the first time last week. WOW!! Can't wait to finish it. Need to install the hood, carpet, seat, door panels, tailgate trim, bedside emblems, and headlights..... Greg

That is a beauty Greg!

Jeff

Progress pics, Almost finished...FINALLY!! Wish I knew how to add a sound clip of the 2 1/2" Stainless Exhaust & 50 Deltaflows. Wish I could post the larger pics, they look much better.

p.s. I did the air cleaner lid for fun, I know there shouldn't be any decals on top. I have another that's clean. Greg

Beautiful job on the truck Greg! :metal:

Nice job!
